List of Spanish expressions in common English

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I've outlined my concerns on the article's talk page. In brief: contains multiple different types of Spanish words/expressions: those fully integrated into English, those virtually only used by people who speak Spanish, and those used by people who don't speak Spanish, but who recognize the words/phrases as "foreign" and unusual. Subject is almost by definition original research, as it deals with words and expressions supposedly often used in English but that won't be listed in any dictionary because they're not standard English yet. Page is also almost completely unsourced. Miskwito 02:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete subject is almost by definition original research. It's the kind of thing that people will drop by and add random things to as they hear them, with no concern for verifiability. So I'd also say it also falls under three kinds of WP:NOT. Dewrad
 * Delete as original research. Also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary.-- TBC Φ  talk?  03:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki or delete.  bibliomaniac 1  5  03:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: The article is original research and not suited for Wikipedia. Perhaps Wikionary might take a stab at it?  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 03:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary as an appendix. Seems more logical to shift it there instead of fully deleting it. If transwiki-ing is not viable, then delete as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Kyra~(talk) 06:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. ¡Dios Mio! this article has mucho original research and would be muy difficult to validate. Hasta la vista, el listo.  young  american  (ahoy hoy) 13:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki if it's suitable for Wiktionary, failing that, delete. Anything claiming that these expressions are common is likely OR, and if we leave it just definitions then it belongs in Wikitionary.--AgentCDE 01:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki or delete per comments above. It is impossible to make this anything other than POV and OR. -- Chairman S. Talk  Contribs  09:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary, then delete as original research and WP:WINAD. Sr13 (T|C) 03:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki then delete. There's no rush in deleting this, so it could be a courtesy to our sister project to transwiki this before deleting (transwiki usually occurs within 24 hours of adding dicdef). -- Black Falcon 23:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, that sounds like a good idea. I added a dicdef tag to the article, above the AfD one. --Miskwito 02:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * NOTE: the article has now been transwikied. Hooray! --Miskwito 20:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
